My guest today is Anthony Todd, the CEO of Aspect Capital, one of the most successful managed futures trend following firms. Todd co-founded Aspect in September 1997. Before that, he was with AHL.
The topic is Trend Following.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
Why prices aren’t random Finding an inefficiency that the academic financial community refuses to acknowledge The idea of “predictable” patterns in the market The desire to know static positions How crowd behavior drives trends Addressing misconceptions Using fundamentals in a systematic way Defining Todd’s medium-term style of trend following Why “it’s less about the genius of the trade and more about the repeatability of the approach” How long you can be in a particular market before you give up on it Client understanding of trend following drawdowns The phraseology of “crisis alpha” The culture that Todd has built at Aspect Todd’s advice to young entrepreneurs.Jump in!
